The Australian Bureau of Statistics publication, Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0) and its associated products are going through a process of redesign.

The purpose of this redesign is to improve the understanding of teenage data, give greater focus to trend data over seasonally adjusted data and to provide longer time series comparisons.

The November 2003 issue, to be released on 11 December 2003, will be the first to incorporate these changes.

Further information on these changes are available from Information Paper: Changes to Labour Force Survey Products (cat. no. 6297.0), released today. This information paper also includes a copy of the August 2003 publication as it would have appeared had it been released in the new format.

The information paper and associated sample spreadsheets, which have been converted to Microsoft Excel format, are available free of charge from this web site in the Themes - People, Labour section.
